Bootstrap Elements Plugin

Hi All,

We just released a "Bootstrap Elements" plugin based on Label to allow users to easily add Toggle / Modal to a course page. Its minimal at the moment but will be built out over time.

https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_bootstrapelements

The reason I am mentioning this in the themes forum is that the plugin is dependent on elements being supported by the sites theme (obviously).

So far we have only tested this with our own theme and Essential, but if anyone wants to test it with other likely candidates let us know and we will add those themes to a list of compatible themes in the plugin page.

Cool Jez, I'll check it out when I get a moment.  As it works with Essential then it should work with Shoelace as that is also BS based.

Hey Jez. Mentioned this plugin on my blog. I love the idea of adding more Bootstrap components to Moodle and I can't wait to see (hopefully!) more components in the future.

Good job and good luck!

Hey Jez!
I've tried the plugin in the UIkit theme, but it didn't work. Obviously becase the theme isn't supported yet. 
I would be very greatful if you could add the theme to the list of themes supported.

Most likely not only me ))

And thank you for your plugin, even though it doen't work with the theme I've chosen, I can see it's really useful.

My understanding is that the bootstrap elements plugin requires a bootstrap theme - UIKit is not a bootstrap theme and so the plugin will not work (and is not expected to work) with it.


This theme is built from its core to work with UIkit (a framework similar to Twitter Bootstrap) - UIKit


This plugin will only work with themes that are based on Bootstrap and have support for for the Bootstrap elements referenced by this plugin. - Bootstrap elements

Tried this with the Element theme and BCU theme, it doesn't seem to be responding as it should with either theme. Help?

I'm getting errors after just adding this plugin.

Did you remember to call setType() for 'bootstrapicon'? Defaulting to PARAM_RAW cleaning.
